"We are appreciative of Betatron and DAI’s trust and confidence in App4Legal’s dynamic management solution and growth plans. With every step App4Legal takes, it keeps three things in mind.

"We are really excited about our investment in App4Legal and the opportunity to work with Feras and his team on addressing a major pain point in the legal industry. While App4Legal’s relevance has only increased with Covid-19 and the new work-from-home reality that many lawyers are living, App4Legal’s product suite serves as a boost to both private and in-house legal practices currently suffering from a highly fragmented legal tech ecosystem,” said Abdullah Mutawi, co-founder and chairman at DAI.
